Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of 'Phase 7' of gravel extraction at the quarry. A limited programme of trenching uncovered the edge of an ancient mere and watercourse. There was evidence of both prehistoric and Romano-British settlement alongside the watercourse. Of special interest were two wooden artefacts recovered from waterlogged peat. They were yet to be analysed but the first was a carved paddle suitable for a canoe; the second was variously described as a trough, sledge or boat. Carved froma split log it measures 1.35m long by 0.52m wide with a 'draft' of c.0.23m. Both objects were undated but the stratigraphy suggested a Roman or earlier date. [Au] |
